Versatile Synthesis of Amine-Reactive Microgels by Self-Assembly of Azlactone-Containing Block Copolymers
Abstract
Relations between molecular design, chemical functionality, and stimulus-triggered response are important for a variety of applications of polymeric systems. In this paper, reactive amphiphilic block copolymers (BCPs) of poly(2-vinylpyridine)-block-poly(2-vinyl-4,4-dimethylazlactone) (PVP-b-PVDMA) were synthesized and assembled into microgels capable of incorporating functional amines. The composition of the PVP-b-PVDMA BCPs was varied to control the number of reactive sites in the spherical aggregates created by self-assembly of PVP-b-PVDMA BCPs in a 2-propanol/THF (v:v = 19:1) solvent mixture, which is selective for PVP. PVDMA and PVP segments were selectively cross-linked by 1,4-diaminobutane (DAB) or 1,4-diiodobutane (DIB) to fabricate core- and corona-cross-linked azlactone-containing microgels, respectively. Non-cross-linked aggregates of PVP-b-PVDMA and DIB-cross-linked microgels dissociate when exposed to THF, which is a good solvent for both blocks. However, the DAB-cross-linked BCP microgels swell in THF, suggesting the formation of a stable, three-dimensional network structure. Finally, because of their ability to be reactively modified in ways that allows their stability or disassembly characteristics to be tailored, these azlactone-containing BCP microgels provide an attractive platform for applications in a wide range of fields, including catalysis, imaging, molecule separation, and guest loading for targeted delivery.
